Protection of hands:

Protective gloves

The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/the substance/the
preparation. Due to missing tests, no recommendation to the glove material can be given
for the product/the preparation/the chemical mixture.
Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion
and the degradation
Material of gloves:
Sensibilization by the components in the glove materials is possible
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further
marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Penetration time of glove material:
The exact break through has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves
